The fact that if you share something with someone via a share sheet in another app on iPhone, it clears your unread texts from them, is a really bonkers design decision.

An underrated aspect of enshittification is the computer games kids play. I grew up on Brøderbund and the Oregon Trail and SimCity and stuff like that. This weekend I saw my nephew and niece playing free YouTube and Google Play games that are utter brainrot.

When I was in middle school some kids went around petitioning adults to ban “dihydrogen monoxide” for being a dangerous chemical and got a lot of signatories. Folks, that’s water. This stuff isn’t new.

My issue with the idea that older buildings are demolished because of Capitalism is that I do not wish to live amongst asbestos and lead.
I’m fine with reusing older buildings (and their embodied carbon) insofar as they can be updated to modern public health standards.

I'm just doing baked mac and cheese. Normally I add a couple of eggs, but this year there are more kids than in the past, so I'm thinking of doing a sodium citrate thing so that the good cheese can have the texture of velveeta.
Let’s run this again, was fun last year, what new adversities are we about to create for ourselves on the field, drop your menus below

@rollovereasy.org good morning! I’d like to submit another endorsement for Ornot’s Mission Pants (and Mission Shorts). I’m not wearing them right now but I often do wear them as PJs. So comfy!

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon
